They need a legit right wing with Bread and Trochek also.
No way in hell is the Habs (or anyone) trading an unprotected lottery pick in this draft, even if you don't win the lottery to get Bedard there are fantastic other prospects to be had, this is the one of the best drafts in recent memory.
You appear to be watching a different Kravstov than I am, although something happened last night that really makes me wonder more about what the hell the Rangers are doing with development.
Rangers are leading the league in passing up shooting opportunities.
From literally the other side of the world, Vladivostok and played in the middle of nowhere, Chelyabinsk in the KHL.
Kravstov changing his game is more damning of the Rangers’ development than Lafreniere’s. Laf put up big numbers against kids in the Q. Kravstov did well playing against grown men in the KHL.
Cmon Zap, you know whether it is baseball, football, or hockey there are going to be some teams that think they can get more out of a player than another team has.
Say what you want about Kovalev but he scored one of the biggest goals in Rangers history and IMHO the biggest goal in their 1994 cup run.

I know, I was there.
But yeah, he was a wonderful talent on the ice.
None of you guys are spelling Kravtsov correctly. Sorry, misspellings are a pet peevew of mine

Speaking of which, I was just going through my old hockey cards and found an "Ilja" Bryzgalov rookie card. Also found Jagr and Richter rookie cards, both of which are sadly only worth a combined $4.
Like Wilt, when a sport changes a rule because you are the only one that is great at it, you are the best that ever played.
Just as nuts is using “r” as vowel like they do in Hrvatska. They have an island in the Adriatic named Krk, a trg is a square, etc. And it’s a rolling R, so I only really try to say this stuff a few pivos in…
I’m not smart enough to run the numbers to see if this change led to more goals (I believe this was the logic at the time, but not positive) or not. But, my gut tells me - that rule change was stupid, shortsighted and punitive for no real benefit. Goalie wants to make a play on a puck, it’s fun and exciting. Only in the NHL do we get jealous owners/GMs that want less of that. It’s been run as a provincial, marginal and Mickey Mouse league for a long time.
Bobby Clarke was the big proponent of the rule. Pretty sure he just wanted to restrict goalies playing the puck because he had 16 games a year against Brodeur and DiPietro. I don't recall him having an issue with it when he had Hextall on his team.
Since I don't want to turn this into a debate that belongs on the CE board, from a hockey standpoint I don't understand why he didn't just take warmups in the regular game jersey instead of skipping the whole thing.
Bad post. Why even bring up a topic that could get this thread hijacked due to CE material.
I guess it's possible they told him to just stay in the locker room but at the end of the day, the 2 points are what is important from the team's perspective so I'm guessing they'd prefer he participate in warmups rather than potentially risk injury and his own athletic performance by not getting some skating in pre-game. Then again, with the way their season is going maybe draft position has become a higher priority than winning games lol.
He had a good game. What are you talking about board police. ?
You are entitled to your opinion, hmm tell me where I got political?
He should have. I like it is a 2-way street. Not trying to go CE, which is why I phrased the post the way I did.
Bad post? I didn't get political. I left it opened ended, but since a few of you couldn't just leave it alone, I hate the CE material being injected in sports. I support a 2-way street.
It's CE Board material. Period. Id tell you to not act dumb like it isn't CE Board material but the problem is you aren't acting.
Excuse me I said " great job by IP" period. That is open ended and was purposefully NOT DEFINED!
When you can infer what you were getting at in the matter of a second or two you aren’t leaving it all that open ended and if you don’t want folks to then reference your post the maybe don’t post it. Seems pretty simple.
